Are We Adults?!?!

We all met at college. The air was cold and crisp and the grass was slightly moist. Everybody was in sweatshirts.... but that only lasted for a few minutes. Ulimate frisby first! Up and down the field we raced: jumping, diving, rolling, falling, slipping, catching, and wiping sweat of our faces. Tis the LIFE let me tell ya. :D For an hour we played and what fun it was. Who won? I don't remember, nobody remembers because it was fun and that was all that mattered.
Next we went to the soccer field and played soccer for an hour. Fun too!!! Kicking, running, sliding, and trying super hard to stop that white and black ball. Pain in my leg... somebody kicked me on accident. Hop around on one leg for a few seconds and then continue running because the ball is coming to me.

Now it is getting dark and the lights come on in the field. We all slowly make our ways back to our cars parked throughout the parking lot. Drive to Costco, go in as a big group under one card and then get dinner. Sitting there eating pizza and laughing I contemplate life. Four years ago we would have never been able to do all this. Nobody had their license, nobody thought they would ever have their license. :D There was no thought of college, jobs, homework, and bills. Now things have changed. But is so awesomely cool!!
So hanging out with friends is like way fun!!!!!

Being adults is really amazing. Its fun and challenging! Having friends who are there for you is such a blessing. The Lord has been good to us ALL! It is still hard to believe though that we are adults in a way. Weird.

Thats all for now... I think... at least until something happens that just needs to be written about!

Those Good 'Ole Times

The wind rips through my hair.

I smile.

Life is good!

I sniff the delicious scent of hot chocolate. The waves crash against the rocks below and the leaves rustle in the trees. Abbey and Emma snuggle closer to me as we giggle and say how cold we are. The wrapper for the cookies tries to escape from my rapidly freezing fingers. My fingers clench around it and I shiver with cold and look down at my two charges. They are eating cookies and sipping their hot chocolate. All three of us are nestled deep down inside our coats as if we are trying to disappear within. The seagulls swoop above hoping for one small morsel to be thrown (not a chance my fine feathered friends). This is life! Observing God's beautiful creation while on an adventure and with some very amazing people!

While I'm Waiting

By John Waller

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait

I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord

Heartache

It rips through the inside of you.
It hurts.
It controls thoughts so much.
It saddens.
It grabs and shakes the mind.

And yet...
It grows you.
It helps you.
It shows you.

Thank you Lord for loving me. I know you do not place anything in my life without a reason and everything I go through is to bring me closer to you. I rest in your love and control. Amen
